Massiel Taveras talks about the incident on the red carpet in Cannes and praises “Queen” Kelly Rowland

Massiel Taveras, the Dominican actress and television presenter, has spoken out about her experience at the Cannes Film Festival, where a video captured her altercation with a security guard on the red carpet. The incident occurred during the premiere of The Count of Monte Cristo, with Taveras wearing a dress with an image of Jesus Christ.

Days earlier, Kelly Rowland had a similar encounter with the same security guard, who apparently rushed up to the singer and touched her disrespectfully. Taveras reposted Rowland’s comments about the incident on Instagram, praising her for standing her ground and standing up for respect.

In the viral video, the guard is seen trying to lure Taveras inside, seemingly ruining her big moment. The guard escalated when she put her arm over Taveras’ head and chest, causing Taveras to fight back.

Although Taveras did not directly address her own experience, she shared articles highlighting Rowland’s comments and stressed the importance of respect. Rowland pointed out the different treatment she received compared to other contestants in her interview with AP Entertainment.

Fans have rallied behind Rowland and Taveras, condemning the security guard’s behavior and calling for her firing. The incident has sparked discussions about respect and boundaries on the red carpet, with many supporting the celebrities in standing up for themselves.
